Speaking of Krell, Krell has just released a new integrated amplifier called the FBI at 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Seems to be a great amp, but at $16, 500? aND, it seems the best sound is achieved when hooking up to one of its CAST brethren. Which Krell developed to pass the signal in a continous and unchanged stream from source to speakers. I can see the advantage, but in a marketplace that is all ready saturated by preamps and power amps already, should not this no holds barred effort sound good with more thatn just its own components.
